It’s true that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. But nowadays, book publishers are smart enough to avoid printing books with shitty covers. And as such, I feel perfectly justified judging someone’s MySpace profile within two seconds, using a few handy tips I’ve devised. Here are the red flags that’ll send me to […]
And thus it begins—another excuse to get your Trans-Siberian Orchestra fix:
Some crazy guy’s attempt to prove his lights are best on the block. [mov]
He must have one hell of a homeowner’s association. (Or, none at all, and some very understanding neighbors.)
This is absolutely fantastic:
Instructables is a step-by-step collaboration system that helps you record and share your projects with a mixture of images, text, ingredient lists, CAD files, and more. We hope to make documentation simple and fast. Show your colleagues how to operate a machine, show your friends how to build a kayak, show […]
I just returned from the “grand” opening of Harry Potter 4: The Goblet of Fire (the movie) and I’m not quite sure how to feel about it. Let me explain:
Very like Star Wars, people waited at the theater all day for this premiere. I didn’t ask what time the earliest arrived, but one of the […]
So I was perusing my server stats tonight and noticed my primary site, Originality Is Overrated has so far this month used 600 GIGABYTES in bandwidth.
As spectacular as that sounds, they were almost entirely a result of a swarm of hotlinks to my MP3s directory. For those not in the know, hotlinking is the practice […]
A few weeks ago Chris was watching Oprah (don’t lie, you totally were) and told me about her favorite popcorn of all time: Dale and Thomas Popcorn.
Well, we all know that Oprah loves her food, and would hardly recomend a tastable that wasn’t tasty; so we both bought two bags. Also, they were free […]
True story.
Sorry for the lack of updates, but I can hardly take this thing seriously until it gets its “face lift”.
In the mean time, you can learn what things have mildly if not thoroughly amused me in the last twenty minutes or so.
I present to you a random-laugh-every-so-often flash movie (cringes are appropriate) called Three […]

Priceless. Just priceless:
Two guys are waiting for the train inside the turnstyle when a group behind them start waving their hands and making weird noises.
Guy #1: People are so fucking crazy. I’m always around crazy people.
Guy #2: Uh…they’re deaf. And mute.

Yeah, this is my favorite site of the week.
Shaving has become something I rather loathe to do lately. My so-expensive-they-must-
be-coated-with-diamond-dust-and-put-
through-a- ritualistic-ancient-blessing-ceremony Mach 3 Turbo blades are wearing out more quickly than they used to, and the quality of the shave seems to have declined. I dislike the experience in general, and will try to go every other day if I don’t have anywhere […]
I’ve seen a few promos for Fox’s new sitcom, Kitchen Confidential, but it takes the lining of a few planets and the correct mix of other traits for me to actually proactively seek *out* a show. Usually, I like a strong recommendation from someone I trust, a promo clip that can make me laugh aloud […]
I’m amazed Chris hasn’t plugged this yet, but as it’s been making the Blog rounds recently I thought I’d give a “shout out” to the impressive music of Sufjan Stevens (no, we don’t know how to pronounce it either), specifically his Illinois album, and more pointedly the song “John Wayne Gacy Jr.”
This past weekend I […]
I discovered Metafilter through my daily readings of Lifehacker. It’s a collaborative, community blog that allows users to post their own quips on interesting links, news articles, games and the like.
My favorite part of Metafilter is their question and answer section, Ask Metafilter. AskMeFi is a brilliant concept: Ask a large, incredibly varied, Google-savvy […]
